MDM Observatory 1.3m Telescope Observing Report for 2014 Jan 11

Observer(s): De Rosa, Pei
Institution(s): OSU

Instrument: CCDS

Worked for 13 hours (all night)
Conditions were Non-Photometric most of the night.
No equipment or software problems were encountered.

Seeing and Weather:
   Beg: Seeing 0.9 arcsec, Cirrus, Winds Light & Variable, Moon 2nd quarter
   Mid: Seeing 1 arcsec, Clear, Winds Moderate, thin cirrus?
   End: Seeing 0.9 arcsec, Patchy Clouds, Winds Light & Variable

Observing Summary:

We observed 8 targets in the course of 12 hours. We experienced
severe guiding issues while observing CBS74 due to gusts of wind
(time lost: 15 minutes, poor guiding for 15 min during exposure).
Because of the guiding issue and other small delays, we only
observed 3 frames each for PG1244 and CBS74.

We also saw occasional NS nodding during observation of HZ44
(Dec +36:03:39.5  HA -01:24:45).

Thin cirrus at beginning and, possibly, middle of the night. 
Thick cirrus/patchy clouds at the end of the night (~10:30 UT).
